Buying on the stock exchange: pros and cons
At first glance, the easiest way to become a crypto investor is to buy a token on an exchange and hold it, waiting for the asset's price to rise. This is easy: the entry threshold (minimum deposit) is low and accessible to everyone, which is a definite plus.
The small starting amount makes cryptocurrency exchanges as attractive as Forex.
This type of investment is suitable for those who are already somewhat familiar with the market. That is, they know how to choose an established, viable project that has long been publicly traded.
In Ukraine, the most popular platforms for buying and selling cryptocurrencies are the world's largest exchange, Finance, and two Ukrainian exchanges: Kuna and BTC Trade UA.
It's better to buy when the asset's price falls.
It's important to buy cryptocurrency not when its value rises, but when it falls. According to Max Krupishev, co-founder of the Bitcoin Foundation Ukraine, "the psychological paradox is that when the price falls, you no longer want to buy. But when the asset's value rises, it's too late to buy."
Almost all newbies fall into this trap. The successful ones are those who manage to acquire promising cryptocurrencies at a lower price.
Initial deposit amount
In general, when it comes to trading on the exchange, it is important for a novice crypto trader to understand:
- What amount is enough to learn crypto trading?
- What amount of money do you need to have for normal trading?
To learn how to trade, you can have up to £100. This is enough to create and cancel orders and set stop-losses. In any case, the amount should be something you can afford to lose.
Furthermore, experts recommend investing no more than 10% of your total investment portfolio in crypto assets.
The downside of buying tokens on the exchange
The profit from purchasing a token on an exchange is much lower than investing in a project that isn't yet listed on exchanges, meaning it's in its early stages.
Experienced traders know: the simpler and more accessible the investment opportunity, the lower the profit. This simple principle works 90% of the time.
And here's why.
An exchange listing is the final stage of the asset's "food chain." As they say in the crypto community, it's "prey" for lazy investors and newbies. "Experienced" investors are looking for an opportunity to get into the project even earlier.beforelisting of an asset on the stock exchange.
Why is this a priority for experienced people?
It's simple: to invest successfully at an early stage, you need to meet at least one of the listed criteria.
For example:
- have a decent deposit (from ?1000);
- have connections in top funds that invest in early-stage crypto projects;
- have connections in the crypto industry to receive allocations (from the English word allocation - distribution; in the crypto environment - the distribution of limited resources);
- be part of the investment community.
In other words: no money or connections - no significant profit.
Activity is the path to success
But what should those who truly don't have either of these yet do? Be as active as possible (register on all platforms that hold sales, build karma, swap, stake, subscribe, etc.), learn, and hope for Lady Luck's favor.
This tactic is suitable for those with little money but plenty of time. That is, by investing time and effort, a trader can still make a good profit. However, even in this case, luck is still a factor.
The crypto community is rapidly growing with newcomers who need to share their experiences. And major crypto exchanges are creating all the necessary conditions for this. A list of popular global exchanges can be found at coinmarketcap.com or coindesk.com.
The benefits of teamwork
Most experienced crypto investors will confirm that teamwork has a huge advantage.
- Firstly, it is very difficult to cover everything on your own.
- Secondly, when you team up with someone, you get a synergistic effect, both intellectually and in terms of connections.
- Thirdly, the entry threshold for promising projects becomes affordable. They generally don't accept small amounts from individuals. And if you're a community member, you have the chance to profitably invest your small savings in potentially large "xes." That is, by generating large profits as a result of the asset's multiple growth. As a rule, you can make a good "x" on coins that are just entering the crypto market.
Project potential
Another challenge is assessing a project's potential. It's easy for the average investor to slip into subjectivity and see potential in a project that doesn't actually exist. This problem can be solved through community intelligence and research.
In fact, there are many investors who are successfully investing in the "money of the future" and are willing to share this experience with others. And in return, they receive bonuses.
Trust is also a crucial aspect of successful investing. There are plenty of scammers and fraudsters in the crypto industry. They can easily take advantage of a newbie's ignorance or, frankly, an inexperienced trader's thirst for a quick buck.
Unfortunately, cases of community founders stealing money are not uncommon. So, choose your community carefully.
